摘要
Amorphous interfacial reaction layers are widely found in metal-silicon and metal-metal thin film systems and may be significant in themselves or in controlling the selection of crystalline reaction products. Such layers show a marked asymmetry in the diffusivities of their component species. For early/late transition metal combinations it is suggested that the asymmetry leads to a loss of internal equilibrium in the amorphous phase during its formation. The implications of this loss for the thermodynamics and kinetics of amorphous phase growth are discussed.
